Charlie X I guess you can say that but GTA 4 was just so lifeless and there was nothing to do along with the hand full of cars and 2 helicopters to drive.
isaiah nguyen lifeless no, in my opinion wasn't lifeless, the city was alive, you could find people making all kind of things, even hobos asking you for a dollar. I agree with you about the fact that there is not plenty to do with the cars, bikes... or too many clothes.
@Phoenixx ayy were 11 years apart. Born 1998. I got this game on my 13th bday. I also played liberty city stories on the PSP. Along with GTA 3/vice city for the original Xbox. Also GTA 4 Episodes from liberty city.
@@flint9889 lol I was born in 2003 I think I was around 5 or 6 when the game came out I used to go to my cousins house to play this Time flies by so fast :(
@Phoenixx Wow buddy! You're definitely playing much better games than your mates. Did you know 'Command and Conquer Remastered Collection' released last month? I was born an year after it was released and now they've remastered it for the new generation. I promise you won't be disappointed with this RTS game, give it a try. ^_~
Ak47 feels more real could be a little less but it’s gives the cars a actual feeling like in a heavy car better slow down on the turn vs gta 5 nothing matters
Imagine this. GTA IV with RDRII graphics, with a more modern and detailed NYC and with domestic and wild animals. That'd be the best game ever, even better than GTA V.
Then they'd have to create the New York (Liberty) state like Rockstar had it originally in mind. It would work out very well for sure; hopefully in a future Liberty City setting. I believe GTA IV's story benefitted much from the exodus of East Germans/Yugoslavia War context, and to create something like that in current political scenario is very difficult. Rockstar pulled off something which couldn't fit in any other post-Arab Spring world and it did very successfully.
As for someone who's played and beat both gta iv and gta v I felt the fourth one just had a way better story and I loves liberty city and the amazing sound track don't get me wrong gta v was fun and has an awesome world, soundtrack animals ( which I personally really liked) and the amazing detail to graphics that rockstar is very known for but it seriously lacked in the characters I felt they didn't have the impact that nicko or roman, and little Jacob made and also honestly gta v doesn't really have too many options to customize your vehicles when compared to saints row2 and there really wasn't many clothing options if your just playing as one character and don't want to switch and last but not least I reaaaallly hate that rockstar tried forcing us to download an app for your phone to train chops when it could of easily been implanted in the game
People that did not play this game when it came out, don`t understand how truly perfect this game was. The songs, the story, the online.... If there was a way to go back in time, I would.
Patrick Richter That and because you were able to switch between 3 characters I felt like they didn't have enough time to give a good background to each character.
Nathaniel Levesque GTA 5 Has better and newer gameplay mechanics but GTA 4 Had more interesting characters and a more interesting story line and way more missions then GTA 5
***** Are you serious? A character with no background is boring as hell. Are you easily satisfied by graphics that you don't care about the emotions and motives behind a character.
Blake Does Gaming Nice try Vice City its also nice, maybe it was back at the time , maybe today its not so fun anymore, GTA 5 its good but i was expecting much better i have to say
I was 11 when this released I remember begging my mom to buy me ps3 but she never did so I had to wait another 3 years until I had my own money to buy xbox 360

It wasn't that dark compaired to Gta 4, Probably because the Protagonist in Gta 3 is Mute/Refuses to talk giving a handicap of not expressing his feelings unlike 4
GTA 3 is a lot darker than people think it is, I agree.. But it's still no where near as dark as GTA 4. Eddie Low's missions alone are 100 percent proof of that. Look them up.

There's this little shit that does nothing but talk about GTA5. Whenever you even mention Saints Row (I love Saints Row), he says it sucks, even though he's only played Saints Row 4 for 5 minutes. The fanboys are what have kept me from GTA for so long.
Shlomo Auschwitzgoldbergshekelstein Its true, but GTA sa fans are even worse. I mean at least the toxic fans from gta v are mostly kids. San andreas is filled with people with the same mentality level as the gta v fans.
GTA 4 was such a rich game. I had a lot of fun and made so much friends!😂😭❤️, i think it's way better of GTA5 because the map is more beautiful and the mods too. but nostalgia plays part too
Lee Cummings Yeah exactly. I personally think gta5 was better in every other way (almost) but I am not going to force my opinion down peoples throats just because I think it.
Joey Slávik The only people who like gta 5 more are people who don't care about story and just want to do mindless shit. gta 5 takes a less serious turn. gta 4 is undeniably better, it's a damn masterpiece.
The story in GTA 4 felt much deeper than that of GTA 5 but really after you beat the story there's literally nothing to do in the game and nothing to do with your money but I really liked the fact you were able to go into the burger shot don't know why they took it out for GTA 5.
The physics in 4 are way beyond than what many games today put out. Even to this day top end processors have difficulty maintaining its complex physics model. This is the reason why vehicle handling became flat, almost like there's no suspension. Same with character models who react less to your contact. In addition car damage was severely reduced and object contact movement was also lessened. A lot of downgrades. GTA4 after san andreas was really a next gen game. Moving in the world was so griddy and realistic In addition to this realism the dark and depressing atmosphere of what daily life in New York is is absolutely shocking, and this comes from someone who lived in NY for almost 20 years. It looked completely different and absolutely surreal back in 2008. GTA5 is no where near this leap that GTA4 made, and arguably took several steps back.
YourCreepyUncle I miss games where your just thrown into thr world and just start from there and do your thing. Even the introduction to Skyrim is the worst part of the game.
Bryan Smith Certainly not in the story department i'll tell you that. It was cool for a one time ago, and I really like the characters but I honestly have no desire to ever play the story mode again. Alot of boring and slow missions as well.
When GTA IV first came out, it was panned by the general fanbase because they think San Andreas was better. Now that GTA V came out, the exact same is happening with it and GTA IV. I have a feeling that when GTA VI comes out, I will read a lot of "I liked GTA V more than this." comments. The more games that come out in this series, the bigger hypocrites you guys would look.
If they make it worse than V, then that may be so! As in, make it more effing dumbed down/Casual!!! Just as V was much more so than IV!! Why is it Rocket Science to you? Quit trying to look smart, cause you're not
GTA 5 looks badass, but its downfall in my opinion is the story. Since they had to divide a 30-40hr game into 3 to fit the characters, there was no character build up hence you ended up not caring too much about them. I wish there was more time to play as each character and that their story would start earlier to see why they ended up crossing paths. Instead, I felt like I skipped 40mins of a movie to where the real action starts, so it feels incomplete. That is why I love San Andreas because I got to see CJ's beginnings and also with Niko I got to see his "fresh start" in NYC spread throughout a 35 hour game.
Why are people here saying GTA IV Is better then GTA V cause i think about everybody thinks GTA V is the best open world game ever created and the amount of detail in GTA V then GTA IV is just mind blowing. The retards here trying to say GTA IV was better need to slap them sleeves across the face cause GTA IV was so boring ones you beet the single player. And Also to the people hating On GTA V need to shut up cause you clearly do not know how fun it is to play with friends. People just hate GTA V cause it is main stream and everybody in my high school plays it and millions of people that are in college have GTA V as there only game ever cause it is so fun that there is no point to get other video games ever agian lol
Nguyen Huy what IS your malfunction ? You have the nerve telling him to get a life,when you act as if you have to defend the 'honour' of a fucking game (and a mediocre one too) ...it's a thing. You shouldn't get so attached to things. Because you made such a direct personal insult because of the commentator's opinion,I think you are the one who lives for playing games and dont have much of a life yet. Whatever dude,whatever. Peace
Because, to some people, the story is much more important that pretty graphics. I am one of them. GTA IV has more relatable characters. I tried to relate to Franklin, Michael and Trevor without any success. Even though Trevor was a lot of fun to watch.
i seriously disagree when i hear people say san andreas was the best, im sure it was good. but this game had fixed everything from SA and did it perfectly. shooting, cover, driving, animations, graphics, characters were all better in this game then in SA. gta4 is one of the best games ever made and possibly my favourite. and dont let me ramble on about gta5, when technically, it is the best gta. but i prefere the story and characters of gta4.
yeah i had the same thing. after listening flashing light in gta 4 i downloaded kanyes album "graduation". i am atm still listening it. my favourite song is champion btw.
Its crazy to look at this and compare this to GTA V and see how far we came in pushing the Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits. It's like looking at GTA 3 and seeing how much further they got with pushing the graphics limits with GTA San Andreas on the PS2
***** Oh no problem I was quite surprised they did that; sad, now I wanna trade my Xbox One in for a 360, because I am under the impression they won't remaster it on the One
Did you just say they pushed the graphics limits with san andreas? Bro san andreas has bad graphics for the PS2. Yeah it came out in 2004, there were still games with better graphics in 2004. The best graphics I have ever seen on a PS2 game was God Of War
Zack Woodd wait until you see God of War 2 then. Btw I was talking about pushing the limits of their GTA games, not games in general. Compare GTA 3 to SA and you will see what a huge leap forward it was in scale.
Ozae and the city it's self naturally New York City in comparison to Los Angeles is a overall way more bussiling city the subway system in gta4 is soooooo authentic it can be utilized for some missions developers want you to exploit these things bust most people don't
@@SarahConnor618 the melee attacks was the same for all three characters in GTA V and u press one button for them to do the same combo. Gta IV u have more melee options and more counter animations
Knees to the body, low blows, roundhouse kicks, devastating baseball bat to the head, stabs to the body - Niko had it all. GTA 5 has very few combat animations, even between all 3 characters, while GTA 4 has a lot for 1 character. GTA 4 wins.
Unfortunately,Rockstar games don't care about their old games and community now,only for GTA Online and Red Dead Online(And money of course ,but it's TakeTwo fault).Remastered version of GTA IV(and not only this GTA),best multiplayer ever made will never be exist in our time.
+user256 Man I remember when GTA4 online was fun. I think it is way better than GTA5 online. Me and my online buddies would do free mode matches and have shootouts with the police. Good times
I remember first playing this at a sleepover in 2008, didn’t know what the game was I just enjoyed the freedom it gave me. I miss the days when you could find out about a game from your friends, kept that intrigue alive
People give this game shit just because it's not as "fun" to some people as San Andreas and GTA 5. The main story of this game was great and I can play this game 6 years after its release and still have fun beating the story mode (and I've beat the story at least 10 times).

The story in GTA 4 felt much deeper than that of GTA 5 but really after you beat the story there's literally nothing to do in the game and nothing to do with your money but I really liked the fact you were able to go into the burger shot don't know why they took it out for GTA 5.
you can play online after you finished the story
+Andon the best player online on gta 4 was boring as hell
Rickie Man nope.more than 5 millions of people including me enjoy gta 4 multiplayer and gta eflc multiplayer everyday
Rickie Man but still more than 5 millions of people play it everyday.full sessions.yesterday i got into full session of team deathmatch and freemode
I really enjoyed GTA:SA game design bc of the rpg elements and the three cities....I hope they do a true remaster build it using the GTA V engine
GTA IV physics > GTA V
no your just nostalgic
no he's right. someone even made a video comparing the physics. It is really noticeable on shooting reactions and combat
oh and driving, though that was done on purpose
The physics in 4 are way beyond than what many games today put out. Even to this day top end processors have difficulty maintaining its complex physics model. This is the reason why vehicle handling became flat, almost like there's no suspension. Same with character models who react less to your contact. In addition car damage was severely reduced and object contact movement was also lessened. A lot of downgrades. GTA4 after san andreas was really a next gen game. Moving in the world was so griddy and realistic In addition to this realism the dark and depressing atmosphere of what daily life in New York is is absolutely shocking, and this comes from someone who lived in NY for almost 20 years. It looked completely different and absolutely surreal back in 2008. GTA5 is no where near this leap that GTA4 made, and arguably took several steps back.
Come on san andreas easily beats them both
That was one hell of an intro
what happened to you IGN
it makes you actually feel like a depressed man
-10/10 ign
No
This game is extremely underrated in 2016.
thanks for the crappy pc port that lazystar made
@Metaden bay No boy, gta 4 has best physics, best atmosphere than gta 5, better impact on his year, etc all of this is true
STONKS
Yep
me;)
no
NeoGotYa 1111 yep😎
me :D
I have been playing this again like nonstop so... addictive.
Better than gta 5
Ichigo Kurosaki so nostalgic
Dissapointed to see there are no GTA 6 comments.
GTA 5 was too easy as if Rockstar tried to aim it for 12 year olds.
well it is much easier for 12 year olds to get an M rated game.
Welcome to modern gaming
+Kerim Collings Yeah studios do try to hold your hand through the game
YourCreepyUncle I miss games where your just thrown into thr world and just start from there and do your thing. Even the introduction to Skyrim is the worst part of the game.
+Kerim Collings I know exactly what you mean
Although GTA V is better in many aspects, I believe it doesn't have the charm that GTA IV had.
Many? Such as.......?
Bryan Smith Certainly not in the story department i'll tell you that. It was cool for a one time ago, and I really like the characters but I honestly have no desire to ever play the story mode again. Alot of boring and slow missions as well.
I just want my phone call ayyyye I remember you
Anyone here after the reveal of gta 6 ?
Hey bro
I have no idea why I'm watching this in 2020
But ist cool...
Oh the nostalgia. I was at the end of 7th grade when this game out, I was 13. Now I'm 19 in my first year of college
How you doing nowadays?
AND now you aré 27!
When GTA IV first came out, it was panned by the general fanbase because they think San Andreas was better. Now that GTA V came out, the exact same is happening with it and GTA IV. I have a feeling that when GTA VI comes out, I will read a lot of "I liked GTA V more than this." comments. The more games that come out in this series, the bigger hypocrites you guys would look.
+TheTechPoTaToCHIP i think people hate gta v because it focused to much on the multiplayer
If they make it worse than V, then that may be so! As in, make it more effing dumbed down/Casual!!! Just as V was much more so than IV!! Why is it Rocket Science to you? Quit trying to look smart, cause you're not
TH-cam Algorithm:
2019:This is the year baby!
This is the best game I’ve ever played
Yes!! Too me
Come on Moron!
Then u haven't played THE WITCHER 3
@@abhayprabhakar7752 The Witcher 3 is boring.
GTA 5 looks badass, but its downfall in my opinion is the story. Since they had to divide a 30-40hr game into 3 to fit the characters, there was no character build up hence you ended up not caring too much about them. I wish there was more time to play as each character and that their story would start earlier to see why they ended up crossing paths. Instead, I felt like I skipped 40mins of a movie to where the real action starts, so it feels incomplete. That is why I love San Andreas because I got to see CJ's beginnings and also with Niko I got to see his "fresh start" in NYC spread throughout a 35 hour game.
Agreed. Couldn't have said it better myself.
JP Kyza And the endings! Remember in GTA IV they didn't tell who lives and dies? In GTA V A. Kill Michael B. Kill Trevor C. Deathwish WTF NO SUSPENSE
???
This video made me return to my PS3 and replay gta iv
Lol same bro
i've never stoped playing it :)
Charlie X
Same
and don't need return. Xbox One have it
Lucasddst hey! Who cares
Gta 4 was quite ahead of its time
The first minute of this review would get the narrator and IGN canceled in 2021.
Better story than GTA V
👍
Why are people here saying GTA IV Is better then GTA V cause i think about everybody thinks GTA V is the best open world game ever created and the amount of detail in GTA V then GTA IV is just mind blowing. The retards here trying to say GTA IV was better need to slap them sleeves across the face cause GTA IV was so boring ones you beet the single player. And Also to the people hating On GTA V need to shut up cause you clearly do not know how fun it is to play with friends. People just hate GTA V cause it is main stream and everybody in my high school plays it and millions of people that are in college have GTA V as there only game ever cause it is so fun that there is no point to get other video games ever agian lol
high school and college....ya right...why dont you try to put down the controller for once and go outside and get a life?
because gta iv has a much better story
Nguyen Huy what IS your malfunction ? You have the nerve telling him to get a life,when you act as if you have to defend the 'honour' of a fucking game (and a mediocre one too) ...it's a thing. You shouldn't get so attached to things. Because you made such a direct personal insult because of the commentator's opinion,I think you are the one who lives for playing games and dont have much of a life yet. Whatever dude,whatever. Peace
I think it's just the nostalgia...
Because, to some people, the story is much more important that pretty graphics. I am one of them. GTA IV has more relatable characters. I tried to relate to Franklin, Michael and Trevor without any success. Even though Trevor was a lot of fun to watch.
Why is this recommended to me 16 years later?
😁
Who's watching this 15 years later?
i seriously disagree when i hear people say san andreas was the best, im sure it was good. but this game had fixed everything from SA and did it perfectly. shooting, cover, driving, animations, graphics, characters were all better in this game then in SA. gta4 is one of the best games ever made and possibly my favourite. and dont let me ramble on about gta5, when technically, it is the best gta. but i prefere the story and characters of gta4.
This video got me into Kanye West. Flashing Lights is still my favorite song by him.
Have you listened to stronger or gold digger? They're probably my favourites ;)
Same. My second favourite is "Power".
yeah i had the same thing. after listening flashing light in gta 4 i downloaded kanyes album "graduation". i am atm still listening it. my favourite song is champion btw.
Same here. That song still gives me the chills it's so good and so is GTA 4
came here to say the exact same thing. dog bless
why did this review go so hard with the playlist lmao
Why is this recommended 15 years later??
GUYS THIS WAS IN 2008!!!IT WAS AMAZING BACK THEN.
And it still is.
indeed
@@Alphacino1018
Its crazy to look at this and compare this to GTA V and see how far we came in pushing the Xbox 360 and PS3 to their limits. It's like looking at GTA 3 and seeing how much further they got with pushing the graphics limits with GTA San Andreas on the PS2
Compare Gta San Andreas Xbox 360 to GTA V Xbox 360
+Zer0dog Yes, it is. I went to gamestop last week and saw Grand Theft Auto San Andreas remastered on the 360 for $19.99.
***** Oh no problem I was quite surprised they did that; sad, now I wanna trade my Xbox One in for a 360, because I am under the impression they won't remaster it on the One
Did you just say they pushed the graphics limits with san andreas? Bro san andreas has bad graphics for the PS2. Yeah it came out in 2004, there were still games with better graphics in 2004. The best graphics I have ever seen on a PS2 game was God Of War
Zack Woodd wait until you see God of War 2 then. Btw I was talking about pushing the limits of their GTA games, not games in general. Compare GTA 3 to SA and you will see what a huge leap forward it was in scale.
They should remaster this gem instead of reselling GTA V for the third time!
Gta 4 has no online monetization and it doesn't have a mobile phone port so the chances 2k would "remaster" this is very unlikely
Thumbs up if you have watched the GTA VI trailer 😅
Never has a game left me feeling as empty as i had at the end of gta 4.
red dead redemption is the best rockstar game
This is recommended because a bunch of people can't tell the difference of IV and VI.
Seeing this after the gta 6 trailer dropped is crazy
There’s one thing everyone can agree on: The melee combat in this game is heavily superior to GTA 5’s.
Ozae and the city it's self naturally New York City in comparison to Los Angeles is a overall way more bussiling city the subway system in gta4 is soooooo authentic it can be utilized for some missions developers want you to exploit these things bust most people don't
You have only 2 attacks and they usually miss their target.. so no... gta5 melee was better
@@SarahConnor618 the melee attacks was the same for all three characters in GTA V and u press one button for them to do the same combo. Gta IV u have more melee options and more counter animations
Miguel Frias nah you don’t look hard enough gta 5 has tons but people ignore them
Knees to the body, low blows, roundhouse kicks, devastating baseball bat to the head, stabs to the body - Niko had it all. GTA 5 has very few combat animations, even between all 3 characters, while GTA 4 has a lot for 1 character. GTA 4 wins.
Hopefully this gets remastered for the 10th anniversary.
Patrick Stephenson It's around the corner (next year)
Patrick Stephenson these bastards made it for xbox one
Sorry, it didn't get anything for the 10th anniversary. Just a boring update which changes the soundtracks of the game. That's it
NOPE.
Unfortunately,Rockstar games don't care about their old games and community now,only for GTA Online and Red Dead Online(And money of course ,but it's TakeTwo fault).Remastered version of GTA IV(and not only this GTA),best multiplayer ever made will never be exist in our time.
IGN what was that intro bring that style back
This video was the reason I bought a 360 and gta4 back in 2008.
this game make me sad when i remember played in it 2009-2013.. i miss that days so mutch.
just got it for 5 bucks
+user256 dats weird lots of people on ps3 modding da shit outta of it must be cuz of different regions
***** if you ever feel like playing it PM me or something because according to these comments no one is playing it anymore.
Lol I got it for 3 dollars in 2010
+seal3081 3 bucks in the xbox marketplace same for san andreas
+user256 Man I remember when GTA4 online was fun. I think it is way better than GTA5 online. Me and my online buddies would do free mode matches and have shootouts with the police. Good times
I remember first playing this at a sleepover in 2008, didn’t know what the game was I just enjoyed the freedom it gave me. I miss the days when you could find out about a game from your friends, kept that intrigue alive
2023, 15 years later and this game still goes hard. 2008 was a different time.
People give this game shit just because it's not as "fun" to some people as San Andreas and GTA 5. The main story of this game was great and I can play this game 6 years after its release and still have fun beating the story mode (and I've beat the story at least 10 times).
GTA IV is better than GTA V my opinion.
OPINIONS
Alphaomarni Karnley Jarbie BYE
Alphaomarni Karnley Jarbie The game just got stale to me.
Alphaomarni Karnley Jarbie GTA V had got stale.
Alphaomarni Karnley Jarbie If you don't know what it means then search up the definition why would I write something that doesn't make sense? come on man...
